What Heather's Students Say
Jean Masters
As a professional calligrapher, I have done much wedding calligraphy. Heather’s class helped me go back to the beautiful classic strokes of Engrosser’s Script—crafting the letters, spacing and focusing on the beauty, instead of rushing to a deadline. I continually go back to her exemplars to keep my work at its best.
Even as an experienced calligrapher, I learned so much from Heather’s class on Engrosser’s Script. The details of engrossing—putting those touches on the letters that give you such a beautiful result—make all the difference in the look of your finished piece.
Engrosser’s Script is an art form that is the epitome of the copperplate hand. Learning the historical, classic lettering from Heather has made all the difference in my pointed pen calligraphy. Plus, her class is so much fun!
Glenda Tidwell
I cannot recommend Heather’s copperplate class enough! Heather is a wonderful teacher and mentor and she brings all of her skills and talents to the table for you. She unselfishly shares her beautiful hand, skills and techniques of Copperplate calligraphy with you to help you grow, learn and advance as a calligrapher. She exceeds your expectations of learning but mainly she makes her classes fun and engaging and she is always wearing a smile! You will definitely be cheating yourself if you don’t enroll in her class.
I am so thankful and happy that I have been a student of Heather and her classes. I encourage you to do this as well-you will be glad you did!
